It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
We all spend time with loved ones and family during the fall and holiday seasons—it might also be the perfect opportunity to pop the question. Everyone is already conveniently gathered, the lights are sparkling, and the holiday spirit is in the air!
If your significant other loves the fall or maybe you met during a holiday party last year, you may consider a ring that represents the season and your special bond. Joslin’s has plenty of ideas for seasonally-inspired engagement rings!
Stunning Autumnal Citrine Stone
Autumnal Engagement Rings
For some people, fall is the best time of the year; if your sweetheart is a huge fall fan, peruse red, orange and gold gems that resemble the season!
If your fiancée-to-be likes to celebrate her birthday, consider using her birthstone in the stone setting. Pair a central diamond with side stones from her birth month on a gold band! October Opals, November Citrines, and December Blue Topaz all offer incredibly stunning choices.
Classic Solitaire, Ever Timeless
Perhaps your loved one prefers simple, meaningful tokens of affection. For the partner who values gratitude and the season’s meaning, choose something sophisticated like a classic band and solitaire pairing.
Holiday Engagement Rings
Emeralds as Evergreen as Your Love
Nothing says merry and bright like some new seasonal bling! For holiday-inspired engagement rings, here are just a few ideas to consider.
- Christmas Cheer: Pair rubies or red sapphires with diamonds for a cheer-filled ring sure to delight this holiday season!
- Evergreen: To represent your years together, choose a gorgeous emerald as evergreen as your faithfulness and loyalty.
- Angelic: Set your sweetheart’s ring with a halo setting — the extra shine will have her singing your praises!
- Family Heirloom: Bring your heirloom ring into Joslin’s for a retouched, meaningful but modern piece. Maybe you prefer the vintage look but the piece still needs a professional cleaning or repair. Joslin’s can take care of your gems! Learn more about altering or repairing family gems here.
Winter Wonderland, anyone?
- Winter Skies: If your significant other has a winter birthday, has beautiful blue eyes, or loves the winter season, pair diamonds with blue stones like sapphire or blue topaz for a unique ring that shines like a crisp winter sky!
- Snowflake Shaped: With a special stone setting, your snow-loving sweetheart can have a one-of-a-kind ring to show off!
- Luxuriously Lustrous: For the person who loves to shine, choose a ring big and blingy enough to outshine all the Christmas lights!
Outshine the Holiday Lights!
- Alternative: For a unique or edgy bride-to-be who loves to do things a bit differently. Black diamonds or “salt n pepper” speckled diamonds will be the best lump of coal she ever got!
- 5th Day of Christmas: Inspired by the classic Christmas song and the gift from a true love, bind 5 slender golden bands; then set with a solitaire diamond!
Classic Engagement Rings
While it’s fun to be creative with holiday ring ideas, many partners may prefer something a little more timeless. Joslin’s has several sophisticated rings sure to delight!
- Pear shaped engagement rings are perfect for out-of-the-ordinary women. Vibrant and asymmetrical, this bold diamond is still delicate and refined.
- Oval diamond engagement rings are classy and stylish. Their longer shape makes the diamond look larger and your finger appear longer – and who doesn’t love a more slender look? These diamonds look stunning as a solitaire on a gold band or in a three-stone setting!
- Marquise engagement rings are both classy and modern. This timeless look became popular in the royal French court and has held its striking presence well. Like the oval, the marquise cut makes your finger appear slender, longer and more elegant.
If you anticipate proposing this holiday season, it’s important to plan your seasonal engagement ahead of time. Schedules fill up quickly, and holiday shopping can take its toll on inventories.
